• Still A Little Paranoid Part 3

  For 5 months I stayed off this platform frankly because it was difficult to type and I had lost my inspiration to tell stories. Even my own fun and intriguing and ironic stories, although there were a few times I really wanted to break the fast and get back on here and share. The fact…

• Paranoid Part 2

  Within days of getting my bandage off from my hardware removal surgery I began to look for job postings. It’s something I have wanted to do but wanted to wait once I knew about this quick second and final surgery on the way. When I found a very intriguing listing I went for it thinking…

• Summer School: Getting Lost

  Monday after my class, instead of heading back north on 57 I would be heading in the opposite direction. My time in Evansville had always been with family; never on my own.
